About H2BCN (and me)

Homage to BCN is an English language website I started when I moved to Barcelona. I write about anything and everything that I come across that relates to this great city. I also get people I meet to write their Perfect Days to share what they love about the city. And accept guest posts on anything relating to Barcelona too.
